"They offer lemonade, fruit punch, and iced tea for $2, and when I asked if they made it themselves, I was told yes. However, when we tasted it, it turned out to be just powdered flavored water. I had expected something homemade, but I suppose for $2, that wasn't realistic. We ordered the "Great Catch" for $40, which includes shrimp, fish, chicken wings, and lobster, along with two sides. Unfortunately, they were out of lobster and offered to double the fish and shrimp instead. I requested the shrimp to be sautéed, and they said it would take about 25 minutes. After waiting 40 minutes, we finally received our food. We took it home, which is a 30-minute drive, and the order included 3 pieces of fish, 7 shrimp, a handful of fries, and some broccoli, but no chicken wings. To my disappointment, the fish was hard as a rock, overly salty, and some pieces even smelled off. The shrimp, which I had asked to be sautéed, were fried instead and also excessively salty. The broccoli was decent, but it would have been nice to have more. The fries were bland, which was surprising given the over-seasoning of everything else. They were greasy and there weren't many, either. Compared to other seafood places in the area, this one falls short. For example, Surf City in Jersey City offers a fried fish platter for $33 that includes 4 pieces of cod, around 10 shrimp, calamari, and plenty of fries, all of which are tastier and a better value. Disappointed, I called the restaurant to mention they had forgotten the chicken wings. At that time, I hadn't tried the fish, so I didn't mention it was bad. The staff member assured me they would credit some money back to my card. However, a few days later, the charge went through, and I received no credit. After reading through more reviews, I noticed that others have also mentioned missing items, such as mac and cheese. If you decide to eat here, I highly recommend checking to ensure they pack everything correctly."

Vegetarian options: As it's primarily a fish fry establishment, there aren't many vegetarian choices, but the plain mac and cheese is excellent!

Excellent service and amazing food!! I love the energy of this place! My favorite seafood/ soul food spot and I drive all the way from Brooklyn to get some!

This is a takeaway or basic dining joint. It is the opposite of fancy dining, or romantic atmosphere, but here the emphasis is on the food, its freshness, and how it is prepared. This is what this place excels in. If you crave fish and chips, you won't be disappointed. The service was friendly and casual.

Listen I really wanted to love this place. I just moved here from Brooklyn and decided to try this spot out I saw it was blacked owned and I said yes I will support. Paid $18 for one piece of catfish and a few fries was so disappointed. I don’t regret supporting black owned businesses but I won’t be waisting my money here again. Although View menu

Placed an order through Grubhub, not only was my food late, I was never notified they were out of wings! When I called I was informed so I changed it to something else, the delivery guy arrived and is asking for a tip which I did it through Grubhub, I told him that and this man had the nerves to ask me how much did I give! Never again ordering from this place.

Overall, I would rate the experience a 7/10. The fish was quite thin and fried a bit too hard for my liking. However, the mac and cheese was impressive, earning an 8/10—really delicious and flavorful, though I think it could use a bit more cheese mixed in. The fries were a letdown at 6/10; they became soggy by the time I finished my meal. The collard greens also rated a 6/10; they were spicy but could benefit from additional flavor. On a positive note, the location is ideal, and there is plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors.

I was really excited to try this place after reading good reviews and seeing pictures. But unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience.It’s a small place with a couple of tables. We came on a hot august day and their air conditioning was broken. That’s not the worst of it for us though, I felt bad for the man cooking.They have lemonade and fruit punch and ice tea only for $2. I asked if they make it here and he said yes. When we tried it though it was just powdered flavored water. I was expecting something home made but I guess for $2 it’s not going to be that.We ordered the great catch for $40 it comes with shrimp, fish, chicken wings and lobster and two sides. They were out of lobster...

"Went here for a double date a few weeks back. A friend at the table was having issues finding a plate she wanted. When she asked for a pasta plate with an order of chicken ON THE SIDE, it was flat out refused. Everything was prepared the true Italian way . I payed for my appetizer and we left. I do not belive this food is cooked on premises; it is made elsewhere (the other restaurant) and brought in. This is why they can not simply add a chicken breast on the side.What really amazes me is the audacity the owner has to be combative and criticize a factual review. She then took the time to try to shame my friend who wrote a truthful review not once but twice by editing her response a week later after she sat there googling him. This is shameful for the owner and her staff. I do not know where these 5 star reviews talking about service come from because the woman was rude, pushy and arrogant as an angry boar.Hint for the staff: If a customer asks what a plate is prepared like, do not tell them to google it as your first answer. Response This is a case of bad communication turned worse. At no point did we want that. She simply asked for chicken of any kind to be added to the dish. When the waitress said no, we asked if we could pay for just a piece of fried chicken to be eaten with it. Flat out refused.There is no hate involved in this post. I liked my appetizer. I disliked the way the waitress was pushy and kinda rude. My friend chose to write a review at the time. I did not. Someone responded day of. Some one then chose to google him and change the review response a week later? Very unprofessional, rude, and uncalled for.My review is again a service review on the first issue in the resturant, and now this googling habit.Good appetizer, bad manners."
